It takes merely ages for any feature to implement. They took over a year for an address book and is it capable of syncing (e.g. a carddav server)? Nope. Everything it does is always pretty basic, if you need anything that coexists within a heterogeneous environment (by syncing it's stuff), look elsewhere...

Since Win 7 we have jumplists for items on the taskbar. If you hover over one, you see a small live window of what's currently inside the window that belongs to this jumplist. This also works for videos and the speed and quality is rather good. If you have several e.g. videos playing (with the same player in a different instance) hovering over one of these task bar entries will show the live view for _all_ of the them^^

I'm looking for an application that is able to to generate these live views and put them together in a new window (if possible: without scroll bars).

It would be nice if we could arrange the order of it's entries and display them either in a horizontal or vertical way.

Two screenshots:- One live view for a video player (hovering over it's taskbar entry)- Arranged vertically

If MasterSeeker is able to find the .xml file in its own directory please do not let it create the %APPDATA%\DxCK folder.I've seen quite a few apps that still "mess" with %APPDATA% | %LOCALAPPDATA% even if they claimed to be portable (and ofc with their config files in the correct place).

Apart from that there are no avoidable traces that MasterSeeker leaves behind

Source systems are either x86 / x64. About 7 to 3. Modified the original posting. The 10 replacement systems have 7 Pro x86 installed and because they only have 3GB Ram each there is absolutely no reason to change that.

is there any recommendable software around that scans a computer for any kind of media = image | music | documents (.ppt, doc(x), etc.) | anything else that counts as some kind of user documents and transfer all this data (retaining the old folder structures) to a user selectable destination point (a local folder on a partition would be enough)?

I have to transfer the data for 10 Notebooks so I don't want to go through all folders manually.

Sure, everyone would say: Use Windows-Easy-Transfer...Apart from the fact that it doesn't restore from x64 to x86 directly (which ofc I could circumvent) it failed miserably when I tested it...628 MB of data (only for one user account), transferred the destination file to a virtual machine and after running through the wizardit tells me the easytransfer-file is empty... lol, it isn't...

So I'm looking for an alternative...

One thing that is a must have: After scanning a PC it must be possible to go over the selected directories / files to make manualcorrections (e.g.: check / uncheck a folder that I don't want to be transferred).

Any recommendations (please, only stuff that you tried yourself and that works as advertized)?

Looks nice, finding files is really instant.I would install it on 10 notebooks but there are only limited user accounts available.So the only way atm is to create a task that runs with highest privileges but I do notwant it to popup automatically so could you please add an option to just display it'stray icon instead of the full gui?

3 things would be nice, imho:- An additional movement method: By <x> pixel (either Speed or Pixel can be active)- I would be great if your software could be used to move / resize windows by usingan editable modifier key and the cursor keys (with Pixel option). It isn't possible whileholding "L" because it will repeat the left mouse clicking- A portable version (even .net applications can safe their config to the current app dir / a user specific dir instead of something like "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\MoveYourCursor\Key_Mouse_Donation_Coder._Url_<many chars>\<version>\")

Response time is much! better when FARR is not on the exclusion list of MSE but still a little bit unpredictable. In most cases it only needs half a second (although it's never instant) to display it's results but sometimes (about 1/5 of all searches) up to about 4 seconds. Apart from that, a great step forward.

I've thought about if there are any major differences between those 3 machines and the most important one is:The main doesn't use any virus scanner, the other two have Microsoft Security Essentials installed...

So after adding the FARR executable to the process exclusion list... FARR's search results are instant now,regardless if I change any settings from one of your screenshots

The first one contains one subfolder with two subfolders underneath which have 2 .exe files.2. and 3. contain only .lnk files which point to .exe files that are placed in a parent folder structure likeD:\Tools\VLC\vlc.exeorD:\Users\%USERNAME%\Tools\XYplorer\XYplorer.exe

I have two other systems with the same operating system and the same ssd (but slower prozessors and less ram) whichbehave absolutely different.

Search results need up to 10 seconds before they appear (and FARR is not responding when you click e.g. on the title bar in that time) but the status lines always says that the number of results was returned in 0 (instead of the real amount) of seconds.

These machines use exactly the same FARR setup (like my main machine) and the number of .lnk files are much less (about 40).

I think it must be some problem of icon caching that makes FARR so slow but none of the 3 machines uses a tweak or special (registry) setting that influences the Windows icon cache... Deleting the icon cache and rebuilding it by opening these folders with windows explorer doesn't help and I've changed all settings inside FARR (Incremental search on each keypress, Delay search start based on..., Resolve shortcuts when searching..., Resolve shortcuts when adding..., etc.) that could be related but the problem persists.

Any hints on how to find out what hampers FARR's performance so much on the two other machines?

I've lost my older brother 12 years and my father 11 years ago (and I was 26 at that time) and even I don't know what to say to somebody to support him in his grief. It's a german saying "Die Zeit heilt alle Wunden" (time heals all wounds) but unfortunately this is completely untrue ;(
